What happens when the body lacks vitamin C?

Male  23 years old 2018-04-06
Gum bleeding has always occurred when brushing your teeth recently. I checked on the Internet that it may be lack of vitamin C, so I would like to ask what happens to the body's lack of vitamin C?

    Vitamin C is a trace element of the human body. When the body lacks vitamin C, it will weaken the body's resistance, increase the chance of suffering from respiratory diseases, and easy to catch a cold. Lack of vitamin C can cause poor wound healing, bleeding gums, loose teeth, and even lead to periodontal disease. In severe cases, scurvy can occur.
